We are just being real. Being on this forum can make the whole process much easier. One thing that worked for me was to network with other caterers. They are very helpful.
I reached out to about 10 caterers; 4-5 responded with a helpful email; 2 allowed me to buy them a coffee and answer some of my questions; 1 of those two has become a mentor and a great resource.

If you have determined catering is not for you, keep cooking some great Q and we are still happy to have you here.
